Democrats moved President Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention only because they couldn’t fill Bank of America Stadium, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh asserted Wednesday.

“Because of [Clint] Eastwood they can’t have any empty seats out there,” Limbaugh said. “That’s a joke that nobody can avoid making, including the Lenos and the Lettermans and so forth. They couldn’t risk it. There is no other event scheduled outside with the same weather forecast that would be canceled. They wouldn’t cancel a baseball game. They wouldn’t cancel a football game. They wouldn’t cancel a picnic.”

There’s a 30 percent chance of rain on Thursday night in Charlotte, and the Weather Channel is predicting isolated thunderstorms. Democrats said 65,000 people had tickets to the event, enough to fill the football stadium, and another 19,000 were on a waiting list.

“They don’t have people who want to go,” Limbaugh said, according to a transcript. “It’s no more complicated than that. They can’t find 64,000 people that want to go to this thing.”
